OctoPrint/OctoPi Camera configuration for Prusa 3D printer MK3S(+)

OctoPrint/OctoPi Camera configuration for Prusa 3D printer MK3S(+)

This configuration is used for monitoring and controlling a Prusa MK3S(+) remotely using the OctoPrint software suite (https://octoprint.org/) an RPI4B (https://www.raspberrypi.org/) and a IR camera on the printer. The camera switches automatically from normal vision to IR when not enough light.

This is a collection of work of other makers, they earn all the credits for making the whole possible.

This remix is just showing what can be used to put everything together, prints and components.
